This course introduces more advanced concepts of switched-mode converter circuits. Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained.

Toshiba has developed a 2,200 V silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET for inverters and energy ... and is intended for use in two-level inverters in 1,500 V (DC) voltage systems. Two-level devices have ...
